Hoarding Cleanup Services for Springfield, VA

ServiceMaster National Capital Restoration

Hoarding is a very complicated and serious disorder that can affect the well-being of the hoarder and their families as well. Those who struggle with hoarding disorder have intense anxiety that makes it difficult to throw away anything they have collected in their homes. Over time, these items will build up into a dangerous clutter that makes the home hazardous to walk through and unsanitary. ServiceMaster NCR provides hoarding cleanup services in Springfield, VA to help thoroughly clean the homes of hoarders. We use advanced cleaning products and equipment to bring the home back to a safe condition and we make sure to keep the affected individual involved throughout the process.

The underlying anxiety of hoarding disorder is what prevents hoarders from throwing anything away, allowing items like furniture, appliances, newspapers, food containers, and other random objects to accumulate. The affected individual is usually embarrassed by this buildup and will not let anyone into their home. A person that the individual trusts has to intervene and help the hoarder realize the danger of living in a cluttered home before real cleaning services can begin. Our technicians approach the situation with a sense of compassion for the individual and will establish a personal relationship built on mutual trust and respect. We also let the individual maintain some level of control in the cleaning process by giving them the final decision on which of the hoarded objects to keep or throw away.
